Disposable dribble bib

Abstract

A disposable dribble bib for babies comprises a shaped panel of non-woven cotton material. The bib has an outer face and an inner face each of which has a hairy surface formed by cotton fibers which when the bib is placed on a garment will attach and hold the bib on the garment. The bib is simple and cheap to manufacture and is double sided, that is it can be used either way round with either the outer face or inner face engaging the garment. A neck-receiving recess is provided at an upper end of the bib.

1. A disposable dribble bib for mounting directly beneath a baby's chin on clothing covering the baby's chest, the bib being of a substantially homogeneous non-woven cotton material, and including:
 a panel of liquid absorbing cotton material, 
 means for releasable self-attachment of the cotton bib panel to clothing worn by the baby to retain the cotton bib in position on the baby in use, 
 said cotton bib panel having an inner face and an outer face which are similar, whereby the cotton bib panel is double sided so that either of the two faces of the cotton bib panel can face the clothing of the baby, 
 each of said inner face and said outer face of the cotton bib panel having a hairy surface formed by cotton fibres which is sufficiently hairy to form the means for releasable self-attachment of the cotton bib panel to the clothing worn by the baby.

The disposable dribble bib as claimed in  claim 1  wherein a scalloped neck-receiving recess is provided at an upper end of the bib, said recess being centrally located between opposite sides of the panel, and a tongue flap is provided at the bottom end of the bib, the tongue flap corresponding in shape to the scalloped recess at the upper end of the bib.
